There is only *one* file that has a the string 'xalan' in fop:
/tmp/fop-0.20.5/src/org/apache/fop/tools/xslt/XSLTransform.java
private static Class getTransformClass() {
try {
// try trax first
Class transformer =
Class.forName("javax.xml.transform.Transformer");
// ok, make sure we have a liaison to trax
transformer =
Class.forName("org.apache.fop.tools.xslt.TraxTransform");
return transformer;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {}
// otherwise, try regular xalan1
try {
Class transformer =
Class.forName("org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessor");
// get the liaison
transformer =
Class.forName("org.apache.fop.tools.xslt.Xalan1Transform");
return transformer;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {}
return null;
}
If FOP find a TrAX compliant transformer, then, the Class.forName() is
not called.
Everything with xsl(t) transformation must be calls to the TrAX API
(javax.xml.transform.*) There are three different mechanisms to find the
compliant TrAX implementation.

No, it's not that way.

True ;)
